bah baldur's gate 2 already won the gg one (iirc. it MIGHT have been fallout, but i think it was bg2)...

warcrafts/starcraft were fun, but i think Total anihiliation (with cc of course) was better. That space mod that took place in space instead of on the ground was cool. I really liked the huge battleships with multiple turrets.

I don't like best game ever polls. They don't really tell anything. There should only be best game of a certain genre. If person A likes rts games the most, he will say the best game ever is a rts. If person B (who like me) likes rpgs the most, they will say baldurs gate 2 (heh) is the best game ever.

Oh and my favorite games:

Bg2 (and the bg series in general), fallout 1/2, xcom 1, xcom apoc, halflife, kotor (i don't know if this really belongs here since while it was fun, it wasn't in the same league as bg2/fallout) and TA (with xpack).

Ok, I've written down all the nominations (133 in all) having removed some that I found to be console games (there may be a few more of these I didn't catch) and of course the repeats. I made it into a 128 game bracket with 5 of the inital spots having a three-way competition. If you see a game, but no number beside it, assume that it is the first one if there are more than one (ex. Gothic = Gothic 1). Also, there were many games that I've never heard of before (and I usually at least know certain games exist if not having actually played them). So, if you vote for a game that you think others might not know about, just write up a little bit about it, so everyone can have at least a somewhat informed decision. I'll give everyone a minimum of 4 days to vote for each round.

Alright, as I said before it is a 128 game bracket, but I'll start with one 64 game side and then the other, after that we'll vote on all the games at once. If someone wants to make a nice drawing go ahead. Mine is really sloppy and hard to read. Sorry, I couldn't think of a nice way to do this. Just post your votes and I'll tally them. Anyway, here we go. On the left side we have:

Is it ok to only vote for some of the matchups ? Don't want to vote when I don't know both games.

Assuming it is these are the winners I would pick..

Dungeon Master over Europa Universalis 2Doom over Civilization 3 Half-Life over Worms World Party and Mechwarrior 2Railroad Tycoon over The Secret of Monkey Island 2Tomb Raider over The Elder Scrolls III: MorrowindCivilization over Call of Duty and GothicDiablo over TribesMagic Carpet over Battlefield 1942Falcon 4.0 over Might and Magic 6..

The fact that diablow was before baldurs gate on that list and you are ok with it has just damned you to rpghell also! Preprare to spend an eternity playing final fantasy clones! :twisted:

for the record...i've never been able to get into the Diablo games at all, while BG (and every other Infinity engine game) are some of my favorites. i'd rather spend an eternity pulling out my own toenails and using the pieces to gouge out my eyes than miss out on games like BG in favor of playing poor FF clones forever. BG will get it's chance in the other side of the brackets soon...
